Having both parents as qualified teachers who can give them one on one attention is amazing. It&#39;s a shame the school couldn&#39;t provide for William&#39;s needs and that it was causing him anxiety. How horrible and devastating to watch as a parent.,My little girl starts school next year after just turning four. I&#39;m sure she will be fine but this does make you think.

But I just did what I thought and tried to extend and make it flexible for a different environment. Our inspection the other week met us with amazing results so was a weight lifted off my mind.<br />I think some children, as you said, do just suit a different environment for learning.<br />Thanks for reading and commenting.Martyn - Being Freehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564829931381366013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711396098826909299.post-577703249794211572015-01-30T14:57:42.856+00:002015-01-30T14:57:42.856+00:00Thank you for sharing this post with me, Martyn. I...Thank you for sharing this post with me, Martyn. It has been interesting to read. As a Secondary school teacher - I can imagine (too easily) how that class of 28 might have been too much for your little one. There are many students I see who would benefit from being in a different setting to learn. I don&#39;t think I have the capabilities to home school - I would worry that I don&#39;t know enough! You&#39;re brave to do so. Well done :)Mummybexmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623285689572051745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711396098826909299.post-78651774547479957892014-11-26T21:53:19.299+00:002014-11-26T21:53:19.299+00:00Thank you Spidermummy on both counts.

It is difficult to see and really does put the education system into question when your child gets bullied, even more so when they&#39;re young. Hope the school is recognising is and will help Spider boy. Home schooling is a great route. Tomorrow i will be posting the advantages of it that might help and interest you and offering a Q and A with it, including disadvantages.

As a Mum of a boy in year 1 who is currently undergoing some bullying, home schooling looks pretty appealing right now xSpidermummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15866923056198267496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711396098826909299.post-83331115040740099002014-11-26T17:54:03.775+00:002014-11-26T17:54:03.775+00:00Home schooling is great and there are lots of diff...Home schooling is great and there are lots of different ways to do it. I&#39;ll be posting for the rest of the week on it. Tomorrow are the pros and cons of doing it and Friday about structures. That one will probably interest you if it is something you would consider, especially if you think you&#39;d be too lenient ☺ as it&#39;ll cover that side of it. 😉Martyn - Being Freehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564829931381366013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711396098826909299.post-69439701098441751032014-11-26T13:38:20.652+00:002014-11-26T13:38:20.652+00:00I had a similar experience in my family where my c...I had a similar experience in my family where my cousin was much better in a home-schooling enviroment.
